sanctuary - jon protege lyrics

so awake now i done dreamed enough
reaching for the stars they’re in each of us
when they believe in you but you’re terrified
‘cause you let yourself down—are you scared to fly?
this has always been my sanctuary
i remember where i came from send prayers to the sky
ready for the world so just put me on
i hope you find a place where you could belong

yeah, day one hunger, i’m still in that same mind state
and i’m about to say my grace
we’ve felt alienated left out the conversation
but tell the homies they can save my place
worried about me when they saw how my life was
they’re like where the h*ll you been?
things are brighter but won’t get too comfortable in my element
make ‘em publications wanna change their whole writeup
but i’ll stay a student like my designation
better late than never may be true and they won’t ever change my tune
graduated from these life lessons
‘cause there was nothing left to face but music
praying for good health and a bad memory
in my genome got all i’ll ever need
the nightmares seen them repeat so until i’m dead i could never sleep
knowing this life isn’t only meant for me
so awake now i done dreamed enough
reaching for the stars they’re in each of us
when they believe in you but you’re terrified
‘cause you let yourself down—are you scared to fly?
this has always been my sanctuary
i remember where i came from send prayers to the sky
ready for the world so just put me on
i hope you find a place where you could belong

they say you’re never lost no matter how far you wander
if it gets you to your calling for the long run
must be self*inflicted if you’ve been on the wrong one
looking for validation outside yourself will have you caught up
or if fear of failure haunts ya
when you flip the light on how real are the monsters you’ve conjured
scared of abandonment, feeling out of place
with anxiety from childhood trauma
but i should be used to it when we were always moving again
and i was the new kid in school tired of losing my friends
what would you do in the shoes i was in?
and being told you can’t do this music thing?
all i need’s a sound mind
seems everything else is fleeting
i’ve been after my well*being, i’ll show ‘em what destiny is
but i know there’s a difference between seeking self and self*seeking
i’ve seen money and fame make some people change
seen familiarity breed contempt
i’ve meet people with lots of words but nothing to say
i know a dollar don’t equal sense
and knowledge don’t amount to wisdom
i know the feeling’s different between just surviving and really living
i know h*ll from my intentions
so if i could borrow more time from heaven i know how i’d spend it
i know we tell the biggest lies
when the mind hides the truth to protect itself and is it pride?
where does it reside? crystalized ‘till they k!ll your high
i know people judge when they can’t see it from a different side
what is it you find when you check the mirror?
i put my all in these songs and find my reflection here
how are you dope if you can’t testify?
and how are you woke if you can’t empathize?
always them you vilify and yourself you victimize
and fell when criticized
only time will tell the mistakes i made but worse if i didn’t try
and i could never feel insecure
when my gift is that i’m different from you
and i know everything i’m in this for
all the talent in the world ain’t ever f*cking with this truth, and i’m
so awake now i done dreamed enough
reaching for the stars they’re in each of us
when they believe in you but you’re terrified
‘cause you let yourself down—are you scared to fly?
this has always been my sanctuary
i remember where i came from send prayers to the sky
ready for the world so just put me on
i hope you find a place where you could belong
